Your state department of transportation will have information on permits and
licenses you may need. They may have a web portal containing the information.

Check out our 'Permit Me' tool or use the list of states to learn about licensing requirements. An approach that also may be useful is talking to a mentor who could offer you specific guidance. Good luck!

You will need to know what your shippers will pay.Then check with other
trucking companies,what are they charging for the same service,your price
must equal or hopefully exceed the compensation they are receiving.
The best way for you to start would be as a licensed property Broker.Then all
you have to do is find owner-operators or small fleets which will have their
own Authority, Insurance,Permits,etc.All you have to do is find the trucks
for your loads,make sure they pickup & deliver on time with no damages.You
bill your shipper for the load,take your percentage off the top & pay your
Truck.
